Statement Of U.S. Senator Herb Kohl On The President's State Of The Union Address

Statement

"We appreciate that the President is focused on the right things for our country: increasing our economic output and decreasing unemployment. In Wisconsin we're particularly happy about his focus on manufacturing since our state's economy and employment, more than most any other state, is dependent on a strong manufacturing base. The President also recognizes that education is the foundation of our country's future, whether it means providing all students access to a quality education or ensuring that workers have opportunities for job retraining. I look forward to working with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to grow our economy and job market."
